The France team has taken an important step towards qualification for the quarterfinals by winning against Ukraine (2-0) Friday in the Donbass Arena in Donetsk. After a hiatus of more than one hour and four minutes of play only, the fault of apocalyptic weather, the Blues have dominated their subject and made the difference early in the second period, in three minutes. With four points on the clock, the Blues only need a draw next Tuesday against Sweden, to punch their ticket to the quarterfinals. Match starts hellish conditions. In the hymns, the Marseillaise was even interrupted by lightning. The storm is raging, the rain is torrential. The 22 players except Shevchenko, have just enough time to hit the ball the referee, Mr Kuipers, took the wise decision to stop the game after four minutes of game platforms are evacuated, a pool is formed midfielder. Everything indicates a postponement of the meeting, but it will eventually take about an hour after the interruption. Clichy untenable On resumption, the Blues, arranged in 4-2-3-1 with Nasri in the role of playmaker , stormed half Ukrainian. On its left side, Clichy, Evra favorite, is untenable and multiplies combinations with Ribery. On a center of Manchester United, Benzema relaxes at full length but only managed to touch the leather (16th). A minute later, Menez, tenure on the right wing (at the expense of Malouda), believes open the scoring but the Parisian is offside (17th). Ukrainians expect the Tricolores in their half and proceed by cons. This is Iarmolenko at the entrance of the penalty area, signing the first shot of the Ukraine (25th), unframed. Blue Harvest On the next action, the inevitable Ménez spleen. Following an excellent job of Ribery from the left, the former Monaco crashed his shot over the right, away from the foot by Piatov. This is the best opportunity in the first period French, with the head of angry Mexes at the back post, although Boxee by the doorman Ukraine (39th). Meanwhile, Shevchenko, invisible until then, had put to Lloris. The 2004 Golden Ball makes a call in the back of Debuchy, majestically control a pass from Seline and goes to challenge the Lyon goalkeeper. The captain of the Blues, well on his feet, pushing both fists. The France returned to the locker room without having managed to translate many occasions (7 shots including six on target). Two goals in four minutes The second act begins with a new opportunity for Menez, Nasri well served by the back of the Ukrainian defense. The right winger stumbles again Piatov, missing his second face-to-face for the evening (49th). But the Parisian has the resource and, while Ukraine seems to suddenly take over (not framed Shevchenko strikes and Timochtchouk), it is he who will break the deadlock. On a pass from Benzema, Menez Crochet Hacheridi then connects with a shot from the left at ground unstoppable (53rd, 1-0), scoring his second goal for France. Three minutes later, Cabaye enjoys a password light of Benzema, again, to double the lead with a shot from the left in the penalty area (56th, 2-0). This is the first international goal for the player to Newcastle. France leads 2-0 then, Ukraine has struck and the Donbass Arena suddenly silent. A draw will suffice against Sweden Freed, the French outperform Ukrainians exceeded, and the lack of a hair 3-0. After a long sequence conservation ball on the edge of the penalty area, uncheck Cabaye a heavy hit that fails on the edge of the left post Piatov, beaten (65th). The game gradually loses intensity and Lawrence White took the opportunity to make his three changes. Cabaye then Menez, both scorers, giving way to M'Vila (68th) and Martin (73rd), while Giroud (76th) replaces Benzema, visibly disappointed not to finish the game.The end of the game saw both teams multiply the technical approximation, Ukraine is making more contribution to Hugo Lloris. This valuable success allows the team to France to bring to his unbeaten 23. Especially, the Tricolores terminate eight games (2172 days!) Without a win in the finals of an international competition. This is the first success of the Blues face a host country.Now, the situation is clear: a draw against Sweden on Tuesday, enough to qualify for France in the quarterfinals of the Euro.
